Decatur (Ga.) Southwest Dekalb cornerback Jonathan Mincy is the latest in a string of defensive backs to receive an offer from South Carolina.

The 5-foot-10, 175 pound Mincy found out about the Gamecock after first-year defensive backs coach Lorenzo Ward visited his school.

"Coach Ward, the DB coach, came by my school today," he said. "I have a full scholarship offer now and should be getting the letter in a couple days. "

Mincy, who racked up five interceptions last season, is excited about the offer.

"I don't know too much about them; it's a good program and good education though," he told GamecockCentral.com.

Eight other schools have offered Mincy, but he is waiting on two others to come through.

"I don't have a leader right now," he said. "I'm just keeping my options open and waiting on Georgia and Georgia Tech to come in."

Mincy talked about the in-state programs and was asked if either of the two would be the destination should they offer."

"I wouldn't say that," he said. "Being the in-state schools, though, I would like to get an offer from them. I just went to UGA the week before last. I went to Georgia Tech's Junior Day. Georgia Tech wants to wait to see me in the spring."A summer visit to Columbia is in the works for the senior.

"I'm going to South Carolina on July 25 for a camp," he said. "I'm also going to Tennessee on June 2nd and Ohio State, too."Mincy has one factor that is most important to him.

"I'm just looking for a second home for me; somewhere I feel the most comfortable with," he said.

While he had previously looked at making a spring decision, the timeframe has been pushed back.

"I really just don't know," he said of when he would make a decision. "Probably after the football season and after I take my official visits."
